Description
Rain clouds - Northern landscape with autumn woods, rolling hills and mountains and dark storm clouds.
A. J. Casson was a master at capturing the beautiful, changing light effects of moments before and after a storm. The contrast of the areas hit by sunlight and the shadows cast by the clouds gives a unique, dramatic quality to many of his landscapes.
Casson was the youngest member of the Group of Seven, an influential art movement of Canadian landscape painters from 1920-33. He joined the original seven members in 1926.
His painting style is characterized by clear colors and backgrounds, he's best known for his depictions of landscapes and villages of southern Ontario.
More paintings from the members of the Group of Seven available in the collection.
